That said, before I had those I had Forte Gotham ST, form Performance Bike, other than being a bit heavy they also ran nice over most surfaces:

On these Contacts.. they dont seem to have them in a 1.95.. seems to be 1.75 only.. i would think i'd be better off with the 1.95 like on my bike? Or maybe not much of a difference. Seems either these contacts or the pythons tend to run a little pricey to what i remember.. at least $30-40 a tire vs $20.
Looks like they have a similar style
kenda to the contacts here for $27 (1.95 size) (City Komfort) But might not be that great on loose loam/dirt situations.
